I'm sadly much too used (resigned?) to pgp keys being expired, so I mostly ignore it, apart from the occasional internal swearing at people who thought it was ever a good idea. So exactly because the pgp key server infrastructure works so badly these days, may I suggest either getting rid of expiration dates, or at least putting them *far* in the future? Honestly, the argument for expiration dates was never very strong, and with how badly updates work, the constant low-grade annoyance from them isn't worth it. Because no, a "gpg --refresh" certainly did *not* get any expiration day updates here. So your key does indeed show that it is expired for me. Which just should drive home how #$!* useless those expiration dates are. Really. So again - please stop expiring your keys, at least in any foreseeable near future. The pgp key infrastructure isn't set up for it. Make the expiration date go away, or make it a decade or two in the future, and maybe it will show as active and valid some day. Linus
